Sebastian Vettel won't change celebration

Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has insisted that he will not change his familiar one-finger celebration despite frustration from fans over his success.

Vettel said that there were discussions among the team that he could drop the gesture, but that he decided against it as it is part of who he is.

"We have had a little bit of a chat as some people for some reason seem to get offended, but I think the most important is you are who you are and stick to that," Vettel told Sky Sports News.

Vettel has won the last three world championships and is currently 77 points clear this season.
